Free speech to text software for pda

You know the situation - you experience it almost every day: When you wake up in the morning, you will want to know the time.
Of course you could take a look at the alarm clock, but that would imply looking at the small clock on your bedside table. If you have a clock that's able to project the time on the ceiling, its better - but still, you have to get your eyes into a state where they can focus at the numbers. This is where talking alarm clocks come in handy. But you might not have one. However, you do have a mobile phone. Why not let the phone read the time for you? This is exactly where HourPower comes into play.

Major Features:

1. Be free
2. Read the current system time out aloud - nothing else. No fancy UI, nothing to configure. Just press the button and hear the time. Put it on a softkey of the standby-screen for maximum comfort.
3. Use the built-in text to speech-engine of S60 phones. English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese are currently supported. If your phone is running a different language, you might not get the optimal experience: your phone will try to speak the default English words, but use your local dialect. In that case, you're welcome to translate the words (and - if necessary - extend the source code to make sure that all possible counting-irregularities in your language are properly handled) : HourPower is open source and licensed under the GPL

Enhancements: HourPower additionally supports Italian, bringing the language count to five (English, German, French, Italian, (Brazilian) Portuguese).

Requirements: Symbian S60 3rd/5th edition

Speech and Debate Timekeeper 2.3 provides you with a various source, multi-platform timer for speech and debate competitions.

It has speech order and time limits preset for Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Parliamentary, Public Forum, World Schools, Karl Popper, and miscellaneous debate formats as well as individual events.
This timer gives visual and/or vocal time signals at user defined intervals so that you will never have to give manual time signals or frequently look at the time. At the end of each speech, cross-examination, or preparation, the timer automatically sets itself to time the next thing that needs timing at the push of a button. No stopwatch or general purpose timer comes this close to fulfilling the role of a dedicated timekeeper in a round.

Major Features:

1. Simple stopwatch style interface simultaneously shows time elapsed and remaining. Buttons are large so that they can be finger pressed on touch screen PDAs.
2. Visual time signals on a color coded background indicating minutes or seconds remaining using a traffic light coloring scheme.
3. Spoken time signals or tones, including protected minute alerts for points of information in constructive speeches of Parliamentary debates.
4. Tracks speech order and prep times. Default time limits are set according to the selected event and are adjustable.
5. The name of the speech or task being timed is displayed in the title of the window.
6. Navigational buttons set the timer to time the previous or next task.
7. Always-on-top window is useful for keeping time while working in another program (e.g., flowing or note taking).
8. High contrast display setting with black text on a white background.
9. Context sensitive help screens are available from drop down menus.

Enhancements:

• GUI improvements
• Less verbose time signals
